Regarding taking care of grafted cacti, I water mine quite freely during the growing season (of course taking the amount of sun and the weather in general into account) - I always let my grafted plants dry out completely in between waterings. In my experience splitting is mainly a problem with smaller plants - on the positive side a grafted plant will soon outgrow any damages caused by this :-)lophophorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761323377202060305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9906682.post-57081338556628364202013-03-10T22:10:00.085+01:002013-03-10T22:10:00.085+01:00Hi!

I've been reading your blog from time to time since 2011, would be great to see the 8th anniversairy of the graft. Speaking of wich, do you have any advice for taking care of grafted cacti? I have grafted a caespitosa pup, 1/2 cm diameter on young thorny Trichocereus hybrid. How often should I water my friend so that it doesent crack? Common sense is good but lack of experience is the problem. The scion is growing fast. /Christofer. www.flickr.com/photos/hattmakarnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9906682.post-47930155611838958252013-03-04T05:25:40.714+01:002013-03-04T05:25:40.714+01:00Amazing that your seedlings could survive those co...Amazing that your seedlings could survive those conditions!

Unfortunately I have neglected my plants some the last couple of years - and a few of them have been severely maimed by red spider mites (including my grafted plants), so I have to swallow my pride before posting pictures of them :-/lophophorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761323377202060305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9906682.post-66155401196447256452013-02-25T00:54:22.933+01:002013-02-25T00:54:22.933+01:00Any chance of a "The power of grafting – 8th ...Any chance of a "The power of grafting – 8th anniversary"<br />Thanks for all your quality postsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
